Supportive Transitional Housing
Structure, Stability & a Path Toward Independence
All of God’s Children provides structured shared housing for young adults who need a safe and stable environment while working toward greater independence.
Residents are supported in establishing goals related to employment, education, financial stability, transportation, health and wellness, and long-term housing.
Support may include independent-living skills, employment and education resources, budgeting and financial-literacy support, community-resource navigation, goal setting, and coordination with referring professionals and community partners when appropriate.
Supervised Independent Living (SIL)
Supporting Eligible Young Adults Transitioning From Foster Care
All of God’s Children supports eligible young adults participating in appropriate foster-care and Extended Foster Care housing pathways.
Supervised Independent Living, commonly referred to as SIL, is a housing option associated with Texas Extended Foster Care. SIL eligibility is determined through the appropriate foster-care and placement process and is separate from AGC’s general transitional-housing eligibility.
Young adults considered for an SIL placement must meet applicable eligibility, referral, placement, program, and funding requirements.
AGC works collaboratively with referring professionals and involved service providers to help eligible young adults build stability, strengthen independent-living skills, and prepare for successful adulthood.
Important: Being between the ages of 18 and 24 does not automatically establish eligibility for SIL. Eligibility and placement requirements are determined through the applicable foster-care and referral process.



Short-Term & Bridge Housing
Temporary Stability During a Housing Transition
AGC may consider short-term housing arrangements for young adults who need a safe and stable place to stay while transitioning to another housing option.
Bridge housing may be appropriate when a young adult is:
-
waiting for an apartment or permanent housing placement
-
transitioning between programs
-
experiencing an unexpected housing gap
-
receiving temporary support from a referring organization
Short-term placements are reviewed individually based on housing availability, appropriateness of placement, anticipated length of stay, support needs, and an identified payment or funding arrangement.
An approved referring organization, community agency, nonprofit, program, or other authorized payer may fund the stay when applicable.
Justice & Reentry Referrals
Supporting a Successful Transition Back Into the Community
Stable housing can be an important part of a successful reentry plan. AGC welcomes appropriate housing inquiries for young adults transitioning from juvenile-justice or other justice-involved settings who may benefit from structured housing and independent-living support.
Potential placements are reviewed individually based on housing availability, program fit, applicable supervision or reentry requirements, funding, community-safety considerations, and the services already involved in the young adult's transition plan.
When appropriate, AGC coordinates with referring professionals, case managers, supervision personnel, and community partners to support continuity of services and help the young adult work toward stability and independence.
Important: AGC considers justice and reentry referrals on an individual basis. A referral does not guarantee placement or funding.

Support Beyond Housing
Building Skills for Long-Term Stability
Stable housing is an important foundation, but successful independence requires more than a place to live. AGC works with residents and community partners to strengthen the practical skills, resources, and connections young adults need as they move toward greater independence.
Employment & Career Development
Connections to workforce resources, job-readiness support, and career planning.
Independent-Living Skills
Household management, organization, communication, time management, and personal responsibility.
Education & Training
Connections to college, vocational programs, certifications, and educational opportunities.
Community Resource Navigation
Connections to healthcare, transportation, food assistance, benefits, and other community resources.
Financial Literacy
Budgeting, banking, money-management skills, and financial-literacy resources.
Housing Stability Planning
Support identifying next-step housing goals and preparing for greater independence.
Community-Based Support
AGC does not attempt to provide every specialized service directly. When additional support is needed, we work to connect residents with qualified community organizations and service providers.
Who We Serve & Eligibility
General Transitional Housing
AGC considers housing inquiries for young adults generally between the ages of 18 and 24 who may benefit from structured transitional housing and supportive services.
AGC’s current residential housing program serves young adult males.
Placement decisions may consider housing availability, program fit, ability to safely live in a shared residential environment, funding or payer arrangements, existing support systems, identified goals, and other information needed to determine whether AGC can appropriately meet the young adult’s needs.
SIL Eligibility
Supervised Independent Living follows a separate eligibility and referral pathway.
Young adults seeking SIL placement must meet applicable Extended Foster Care, referral, placement, and funding requirements through the appropriate process.
AGC can work with referring professionals to determine whether an available SIL housing option may be appropriate.
Important: General AGC transitional-housing eligibility and SIL eligibility are not the same.
Housing Funding & Payment
Understanding How Housing May Be Funded
Housing funding varies based on the young adult’s program, referral pathway, eligibility, and individual circumstances.
AGC may work with approved referring organizations and funding sources, including:
-
foster-care and placement partners
-
nonprofit and community organizations
-
case-management organizations
-
government-funded programs when applicable
-
other approved third-party payers
-
private-pay arrangements when appropriate
What If the Young Adult Has No Income?
A young adult should not assume that having no current employment or income automatically prevents them from submitting a housing inquiry.
AGC can review the circumstances of the referral and determine whether an existing program, referring organization, or potential funding pathway should be explored.
Important: Submission of a housing inquiry does not guarantee admission, placement, or funding.
